I'm a 69 year old female - my bun/creatinine ratio is 29. should i be concerned?

No: if both value are basically normal or just a bit up at your age, you are fine. You can get a ratio like that from eating a big steak. The ratio is useful only if other labs are abnormal and the person is obviously sick.
